Trace saw what looked like some white dots in the sky today. He thought they were floating balloons until he noticed that they were in the shape of a V. He thinks they are white birds flying North to find some warm weather.

How cool! Trace, do you know why birds fly in a "v" shape? I was curious, so I looked it up and discovered two reasons. The first, is that the "v" shape helps birds conserve energy. In a "v" one bird flies slightly in front of the other helping to block the wind. The birds take turns being in the front and flying in the wind. The second reason is that it's easier for all of the birds to communicate with each other while flying in a "v" formation. Thanks for sharing this picture!
